A Reader's Opinion: MOON SHINE by Sylvie Grayson
A READER'S OPINION
Intriguing country romance with a touch of suspense! If you like western country stories with a dash of intrigue then MOON SHINE, written by Sylvie Grayson, will be perfect for you. I really enjoyed this book! It’s well written with charming characters like Julia Butler, her two children, Maggie and Jims, Dr. Will Stofford, and two mysterious personages called Ben and Ollie. MOON SHINE tells the story of Julia, a young widow with two young children living on a farm in rural Canada in the 1930’s. It's set during the Depression when men had to wander long hours on the roads to find jobs to help their families. These times were rough, especially for women with children and for young widows. Still, Julia manages well under the circumstances. However, two surprised visitors are discovered hiding on her farm. Are they dangerous? Who are they? Danger lurks around her farm, but are Julia and her family in danger? Then the new town doctor enters into her life. Will has been betrayed by women and is not in search of another woman is his life, but will he be able to resist Julia’s charm? I found this story different because of the timeline, although it's very believable! I liked Julia because she was a strong, smart and determined young woman. So many twists and turns during their new relationship that will end on a happily-ever-after note!
